Five friends and seasoned musicians ‘LET GRAVITY’ take its natural course; drawing all of them together through their synergetic love for music. This unexplainable force propelled them to jam, collaborate and write songs, play at gigs, and record a number of tracks that are enough to comprise a full album.

The newest member of the band is lead vocalist Ram Chaves, who once had his own band called ‘Ramchavesband’ and formerly a runner up in the GMA 7 Pinoy Idol season 1 competition.
Let Gravity’s soon-to-be-released album features carrier single / album title track “Defy”. This single charted on OPM MYX and Monster radio RX 93.1 It reached the TOP 10 charts for several weeks – a clear testimonial to the quality of music that LET GRAVITY produces and brought the band to the attention of major record labels. In addition, their latest music video for “With A Kiss” is now airing on MYX, Net 25. It can also be viewed on on Youtube (Let Gravity channel). Sometime in July, Let Gravity will release the music video for “Alamat”. This track is the movie theme song of the biopic Hermano Puli, directed by veteran filmmaker Gil Portez, with Aljur Abrenica in the title role. a historical film under T-Rex Entertainment which will be showing in Cinemas in September.
Their album, as a whole, is a compilation of very beautiful and inspiring music. When played live, the audience applauds them with gusto and they clamour for more. Their music is very moving and several songs are already being eyed by a major network to be used as theme songs for their upcoming shows.
Man and music are naturally attracted and bound by a natural force that could be parallel to Sir Isaac Newton’s universal theory. It is not forced nor contrived. So when you hear melodic strains that hit your heart and soul, go with the flow, let go, and LET GRAVITY take you to a world of musical possibilities and good vibrations.
LET GRAVITY’s new album entitled “Defy” is now available on Spotify, Amazon, Deezer and Itunes. CDS available soon in Odyssey Music Store nationwide. Digitally distributed by Star Music. Follow Let Gravity on their social media accounts:

With the series of presidential debates done and with less than two weeks to go before the May 9 elections, DZMM is shifting the spotlight from the candidates and voters to the people, poll body and other government stakeholders who can ensure the success of the national polls.
Last Wednesday (April 27), the leading AM radio station in Mega Manila and the nation's number 1 cable news and commentary channel will focus on the election-preparedness of the nation through the “DZMM Handa Ka Na Ba? Para Ipanalo ang Pamilyang Pilipino!” Halalan forum to be moderated by multi-awarded broadcast journalists Anthony Taberna, Gerry Baja, Vic De Leon Lima, and Karen Davila.
The four will take turns in probing the key people in organizing the elections, and maintaining peace and order in the entire election season – the Commission on Elections (Comelec), the Philippine National Police, the Armed Forces of the Philippines, PPCRV, Smartmatic and also the Department of Energy.
Comelec chairman Andres Bautista will lead the speakers who will answer questions on how ready we are for the things that can transpire in the elections such as malfunction of machines, brownouts, or even safety and peace and order. Different election watchdogs, teachers group, students and families will also attend and participate in the event.
There will also be a demonstration on how to use the vote counting machine (VCM) that will be conducted by a real Filipino family who are voting together in the coming elections.
The “Handa KNB” forum is the third in a series of offerings of DZMM that’s in line with ABS-CBN’s “Halalan 2016: Ipanalo ang Pamilyang Pilipino” election campaign. DZMM was the first to complete interviews on all presidential and vice presidential candidates through Ikaw Na Ba? Para Ipanalo ang Pamilyang Pilipino. It also held the first “DZMM Pasado? Election Forum,” which analyzed the strategies of political candidates in wooing voters and also the voting preferences of Filipinos. Anchored by Ted Failon, the forum aimed to help guide voters in choosing the candidates they will support.
The “DZMM Handa Ka Na Ba” forum will be held at 4:30pm at the Dolphy Theater inside the ABS-CBN compound and will be aired live over DZMM 630 on AM radio and DZMM TeleRadyo on cable television and digital television (ABS-CBN TVplus). It can also be heard via audio streaming at www.dzmm.com.ph. Be part of the conversation by using the hashtag #DZMMHandaKNB.
With the election campaign season nearing its homestretch, it would be safe to assume that Filipino voters have become more enlightened regarding their choices for the country’s next set of leaders.
But have we really learned our lessons well?
With all the grandstanding, mudslinging and furious bashing on social media, majority believe that they have made the right choices based on reason and logic. Spouting facts and figures, many believe that choosing is merely a numbers game, with the likely victor amassing the most number of points based on rationalization and intellectualization alone.
But how many have relied on their moral compasses to guide them? Is this not as valid a criterion for making the right choice?
Multi-awarded actor and director Roeder Camanag is set to lead an all-male cast to act as females in Dulaang UP’s “ANG DRESSING ROOM: KUNG SAAN LUBUSANG PANGUNGULILA ANG DULOT NG AGOS NG PANAHON” --- a 1977 post-war Japanese play by Shimizu Kunio, translation adapted by Chiori Miyagawa from an original translation by John Gillespie and its Filipino translation by Palanca award winning playwright Nicolas Pichay under the direction of Alexander Cortez.
